THE KIMBERLEY GOLD FIELDS,
Pronounced Great Faffure-Mfners
Slain by Blacks.

slain by Blacks
A correspondent of The Sydney Her.
aid, writing from McPheey creek on
july y. gives n gloomy view of the
Kimberley gold-felds- He was sent out
by The Herald to make careful esti-
mate of the diggings, and from his OBJ
servations and the testimony OF exper-
fenced miners he pronounces the Dig
gings failure. The following are the
most Interesting points in the letter:
There is the main camp in the center
of what are named the kimberley
gold-tields. There were about seventy
men and one hundred horses camped
there. Samuel Johnson. one of the
men recently speared by the blacks, was
also there. | had personal interview
with him. and the information l obtain
ed from him has since been verified by
personal observation. and also from
| conversation with at least one hundred
miners. MANY of whom have been on
the field for months. others for weeks.
and others again for only a few days,
but all are unanimous i'll pronouncing
the diggings a gigantic failure. Mr..
johnson has been on the field. which
embraces an area of some hundreds of
miles, between seven and eight months.
He states that he. with four others.
came overland from Port Darwin with
n Thoroughly complete outfit and thirty
horses. His party commenced pros
pecting directly they struck the Ord
river. and have been hard ut it ever
since. As they have experienced both
the wet and the dry seasons. Mr.. John
son ought TO be able to speak with
some authority. He stated that he had
no hesitation in pronouncng the Dig
gings a failure.
All the gold hitherto cot has been
obtained by gu!ly-raking, which is very
'patchy." Sinking is useless, as it is
impossible to get down more than a
couple of feet. No quartz Reefs have
been found rs yet. and the gold appears
| to come from ''mullocky" leaders. I
do not assert that there is no gold in
the district, for something like two
thousand ounces must have been I'M
earthed. But it must be remembered
that the parties who have GOT the bulk
of this came here we'll equipped with
horses and provisions and prepared to
prospect the country in all directions.
They have completely worked out all
the good gullies. and although many of
those who arrive in the various steam
ers at the gulf are still working. very
little gold is being got-not sufficient TO
give men rations.
Several men have been killed by
black and fully twenty men have been
missing for weeks past They went out
! prospecting in different directions. in
parties of two and three, with provis-
ions sufficient to last them only few
days. They have never been heard of
since, and it is feared that they have
either lost themselves and persisted in
the bush or have been murdered by the
! blacks.

How to Boom a Town.

A good way for business men to
start and keep up a boom for town
and its business is to extend friend
ly and liberal patronage to the To-
cal newspaper, and not allow it to
suffer or starve for lack Of support.
The newspaper works for the inter
est of every business man and the
town and county whether It is prop
erly supported OF. not; it is CON
stantly helping to build up trade
and to aid and encourage all enter
prises, and it should be aided and
encouraged in return-not in a
stingy manner, but judicotsly-to
show live-and-let-1ive disposition.
Everybody, knows that the adyer-
tiSelnents in alocal paperls an in
de& of the business, enterprise and
thrift ofthd town, and almost ev.
cry stranger who contemplates
moving to prosperous, wide.awake,
energetic town seeks FIRST the local
newspaper, and often,i if Tot always,
Judges the town bv the patronage
and the amount of advertising he
finds. Ifthe local paper displays
that the business men are to stingy,
or too Indifferent, or too independ-
ent to advertise and keep up and in
crease trade, then it is at least
doubtful whether such town viii
ever amount to much as a prosper
Gus trading place. Somerset Re-

Utilizing Feathers.

Feathers properly saved have a
market value, and it pays to save
them. But many people, upon farm
and in villages, scarcely deem the
small quantity they have worth the
trouble of saving for market.
Feathers, however, make a valu-
able fertilizer when properly treated.
Plowed under they may be of some
service mechanically but of very lit
tie in furnishing plant food for
many years. They are rich in nj
trogen, but the nitrogen is in form
which is unavailable for plant food.
The nitrogen can be freed however
in the following simple manner:
Into a glazed earthern vessel pour
quart or 50 of sulphuric acid, and
then add the feathers. In few
days those placed in the acid will
be dissolved, and another lot may
be added. A quart of the acid will
be sufficient for the feathers of eight
or ten fowls. When the acid will
no longer dissolve the feathers pour
it upon the compost heap or mix it
with an absorbent like dry earth,
muck or ashes, and you will have a
valuable fertilizer readily assimi-
lated, in place of the unsightly feath-
ers blowing here and there-PouL
